1 Vulkan on NVIDIA GPUs Piers Daniell, Driver Software Engineer, OpenGL and Vulkan

2 Who am I? Piers Driver Software Engineer - OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan NVIDIA Khronos representative since 2010 OpenGL, OpenGL ES and Vulkan Author of several extensions and core features Technical lead for OpenGL driver updates 4.1 through 4.5 Technical lead for OpenGL ES 1.1 through ES 3.1+AEP on desktop Technical lead for Vulkan driver 11+ years with NVIDIA 2

3 Agenda Vulkan Primer Vulkan on NVIDIA GPUs 3

4 Vulkan Primer 4

5 What is Vulkan? What developers have been asking for Reduce CPU overhead Scale well with multiple threads Precompiled shaders Predictable no hitching Clean, modern and consistent API no cruft Native tiling and mobile GPU support 5

6 Why is Vulkan important? The only cross-platform next-generation 3D API Vulkan is the only cross-platform next generation API DX12 Windows 10 only Metal Apple only Vulkan can run (almost) anywhere Windows - XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 Linux SteamOS Android (as determined by supplier)? 6

7 Who s behind Vulkan? Hardware vendors * not a complete list! 7

8 Who s behind Vulkan? Software vendors * not a complete list! 8

9 Vulkan for all GPUs Low-power mobile through high-performance desktop Vulkan is one API for all GPUs Vulkan supports optional fine-grained features and extensions Platforms may define feature sets of their choosing Supports multiple vendors and hardware From ES 3.1 level hardware to GL 4.5 and beyond Tile-based [deferred] hardware - Mobile Feed-forward rasterizing hadware - Desktop 9

10 Vulkan release When can we get it? Khronos goal by the end of 2015 This discussion on the API is high-level Details may change before release! 10

11 Vulkan conformance Ensuring consistent behavior across all implementations Conformance tests under development by Khronos Includes large contributions from several member companies Goal to release full conformance suite with Vulkan 1.0 release Implementation must pass conformance to claim Vulkan support 11

12 Hello Triangle Quick tour of the API Launch driver and create display Set up resources Set up the 3D pipe Shaders State Record commands Submit commands 12

13 Goals: cross-platform, extensible Vulkan Loader Part of the Vulkan ecosystem Khronos provided open-source loader Finds driver and dispatches API calls Supports injectable layers Validation, debug, tracing, capture, etc. Trace/Capture Vulkan application Validation layer Vulkan loader Debug layer Vulkan driver Debugger 13

14 LunarG GLAVE debugger And other tools LunarG and Valve working to create open-source Vulkan tools Vulkan will ship with an SDK More info and a video of GLAVE in action: 14

15 Vulkan Window System Integration WSI for short Goals: cross-platform Khronos defined Vulkan extensions Creates presentation surfaces for window or display Acquires presentable images Application renders to presentable image and enqueues the presentation Supported across wide variety of windowing systems Wayland, X, Windows, etc. 15

16 Hello Triangle Quick tour of the API Launch driver and create display Set up resources Set up the 3D pipe Shaders State Record commands Submit commands 16

17 Goals: explicit API, predictable performance Low-level memory control Console-like access to memory Vulkan exposes several physical memory pools device memory, host visible, etc. Application binds buffer and image virtual memory to physical memory Application is responsible for sub-allocation Physical pages Meets implementation alignment requirements Bound objects 2 objects of compatible types aliasing memory Has GPU virtual address 17

18 Sparse memory More control over memory usage Goals: explicit API Not all virtual memory has to be backed Several feature levels of sparse memory supported ARB_sparse_texture, EXT_sparse_texture2, etc. Physical pages Bound object Defined behavior if GPU accesses here 18

19 Goals: explicit API, predictable performance Resource management Populating buffers and images Vulkan allows some resources to live in CPU-visible memory Some resources can only live in high-bandwidth device-only memory Like specially formatted images for optimal access Data must be copied between buffers Copy can take place in 3D queue or DMA/copy queue Copies can be done asynchronously with other operations Streaming resources without hitching 19

20 Goals: explicit API Populating vidmem Using staging buffers Allocate CPU-visible staging buffers These can be reused Get a pointer with vkmapmemory Memory can remain mapped while in use Copy from staging buffer to device memory Copy command is queued and runs async App image data memcpy to pointer returned by vkmapmemory CPU-visible buffer vkcmdcopybuffertoimage Device only memory Use vkfence for application to know when xfer is done Use vksemaphore for dependencies between command buffers 20

21 Descriptor sets Binding resources to shaders Goals: explicit API Shader resources declared with binding slot number layout(set = 1, binding = 3) uniform image2d myimage; layout(set = 1, binding = 4) uniform sampler mysampler; Descriptor sets allocated from a descriptor pool Descriptor sets updated at any time when not in use Binds buffer, image and sampler resources to slots Descriptor set bound to command buffer for use Activates the descriptor set for use by the next draw 21

22 Multiple descriptor sets Partitioning resources by frequency of update Application can modify just the set of resources that are changing Keep amount of resource binding changes as small as possible Shader code layout(set=0,binding=0) uniform {... } scenedata; layout(set=1,binding=0) uniform {... } modeldata; layout(set=2,binding=0) uniform {... } drawdata; void main() { } Application code foreach (scene) { vkcmdbinddescriptorset(0, 3, {sceneresources,modelresources,drawresources}); foreach (model) { vkcmdbinddescriptorset(1, 2, {modelresources,drawresources}); foreach (draw) { vkcmdbinddescriptorset(2, 1, {drawresources}); vkdraw(); } } } 22

23 Hello Triangle Quick tour of the API Launch driver and create display Set up resources Set up the 3D pipe Shaders State Record commands Submit commands 23

24 SPIR-V Intermediate shader representation Goals: cross-platform implementation consistency Portable binary representation of shaders and compute kernels Can support a wide variety of high-level languages including GLSL Provides consistent front-end and semantics Offline compile can save some runtime compile steps The only shader representation accepted by Vulkan High-level shaders must be compiled to SPIR-V 24

25 SPIR-V For your content pipeline Khronos supported open-source GLSL->SPIR-V compiler - glslang ISVs can easily incorporate into their content pipeline And use their own high-level language SPIR-V provisional specs already published Start preparing your content pipeline today! 25

26 Vulkan shader object Compiling the SPIR-V SPIR-V passed into the driver Driver can compile everything except things that depend on pipeline state Shader object can contain an uber-shader with multiple entry points Specific entry point used for pipeline instance Reuse shader object with multiple pipeline state objects 26

27 Pipeline state object Say goodbye to draw-time validation Goals: explicit API, predictable performance Represents all static state for entire 3D pipeline Shaders, vertex input, rasterization, color blend, depth stencil, etc. Created outside of the performance critical paths Complete set of state for validation and final GPU shader instructions All state-based compilation done here not at draw time Can be cached for reuse Even across application instantiations 27

28 Pipeline cache Reusing previous work Application can allocate and manage pipeline cache objects Pipeline cache objects used with pipeline creation If the pipeline state already exists in the cache it is reused Application can save cache to disk for reuse on next run Using the Vulkan device UUID can even stash in the cloud 28

29 Pipeline layout Using compatible pipelines Pipeline layout defines what kind of resource is in each binding slot Images, Samplers, Buffers (UBO, SSBO) Different pipeline state objects can use the same layout Which means shaders need to use the same layout Changing between compatible pipelines avoids having to rebind all descriptions Or use lots of different descriptor sets 29

30 Dynamic state State that can change easily Dynamic state changes don t affect the pipeline state Does not cause shader recompilation Viewport, scissor, color blend constants, polygon offset, stencil masks and refs All other state has the potential to cause a shader recompile on some hardware So it belongs in the pipeline state object with the shaders 30

31 Hello Triangle Quick tour of the API Launch driver and create display Set up resources Set up the 3D pipe Shaders State Record commands Submit commands 31

32 Renderpass Units of work for tiler-friendly rendering Goals: tiler-friendly API Application defines how framebuffer cache is populated at start Loaded from real framebuffer, cleared or ignored Application defines how framebuffer cache is flushed at the end Stored back to real framebuffer, multi-sample resolved or discarded Application can chain multiple render-passes together Execute all passes and eliminate framebuffer bandwidth between each pass Example: gbuffer creation, light accumulation, final shading and post-process all without framebuffer traffic between steps 32

33 Command buffers and pools A place for the GPU commands A command buffer is an opaque container of GPU commands Command buffers are submitted to a queue for the GPU to schedule execution Commands are adding when the command buffer is recorded Memory for the command buffer is allocated from the command pool Multiple command buffers can allocate from a command pool 33

34 Commands and command buffers Building a command buffer Goals: multi-cpu scalable Start a render pass Bind all the resources Descriptor set(s) Vertex and Index buffers Pipeline state Repeat: change any state and draw Modify dynamic state Draw End render pass 34

35 Command buffer performance Command buffer recording needs to scale well Goals: multi-cpu scalable Recording command buffers is the most performance critical part But we have no idea how big command buffer will end up Can record multiple command buffers simultaneously from multiple threads Command pools ensure there is no lock contention True parallelism provides multi-core scalability Command buffer can be reused, re-recorded or recycled after use Reuse previous allocations by the command pool 35

36 Multi-threading Maximizing parallel multi-cpu execution Goals: multi-cpu scalable Vulkan is designed so all performance critical functions don t take locks Application is responsible for avoiding hazards Use different command buffer pools to allow multi-cpu command buffer recording Use different descriptor pools to allow multi-cpu descriptor set allocations Most resource creation functions take locks But these are not on the performance path 36

37 Compute For all your general-purpose computational needs Uses a special compute pipeline Uses the same descriptor set mechanism as 3D And has access to all the same resources Can be dispatched interleaved with render-passes Or to own queue to execute in parallel 37

38 Resource hazards Application managed Goals: explicit API, predictable performance Resource use from different parts of the GPU may have read/write dependencies For example, will writes to framebuffer be seen later by image sampling Application uses explicit barriers to resolve dependencies GPU may flush/invalidate caches so latest data is written/seen Platform needs vary substantially Application expresses all resource dependencies for full cross-platform support Application also manages resource lifetime Can t destroy a resource until all uses of it have completed 38

39 Avoiding hazards An example sampling from modified image Goals: explicit API Update an image with shader imagestore() calls vkbindpipeline(cmd, pipelineusesimagestore); vkdraw(cmd); Flush imagestore() cache and invalidate image sampling cache vkpipelinebarrier(cmd, image, SHADER_WRITE, SHADER_READ); Can now sample from the updated image vkbindpipeline(cmd, pipelinesamplesfromimage); vkdraw(cmd); 39

40 Hello Triangle Quick tour of the API Launch driver and create display Set up resources Set up the 3D pipe Shaders State Record commands Submit commands 40

41 Queue submission Scheduling the commands in the GPU Goals: explicit API Implementation can expose multiple queues 3D, compute, DMA/copy or universal Queue submission should be cheap Queue execution is asynchronous App uses vkfence to know when work is done App can use vksemaphore to synchronize dependencies between command buffers 41

42 Presentation Using the WSI extension Time Goals: explicit API The final presentable image is queued for presentation Presentation happens asynchronously After present is queued application picks up next available image to render to Present Next Render Present Next Time Image0 Image1 Image1 Image0 Display Image0 displayed, image1 ready for reuse 42

43 GFXBench 5.0 Early alpha content for Vulkan Developed by Kishonti maker of GFXBench Entirely new engine aimed at benchmarking low-level graphics APIs Vulkan, DX12, Metal Concept is a night outdoor scene with aliens Still in alpha for Vulkan, but shows the most important concepts 43

44 Demo: GFXbench 5 alpha Running on Windows 10 44

45 Vulkan on NVIDIA GPUs 45

46 Why is it important to NVIDIA? It s open API is designed to be extensible We can easily expose new GPU features No single vendor or platform owner controls the API Scales from low-power mobile to high-performance desktop Can be used on any platform It s fast! 46

47 What about OpenGL? OpenGL is also very important to NVIDIA OpenGL and OpenGL ES will remain vital Together have largest 3D API market share Applications games, design, medical, science, education, film-production, etc. OpenGL improvements since last year Maxwell extensions (15 of them!) EXT_post_depth_coverage, EXT_raster_multisample, EXT_sparse_texture2, EXT_texture_filter_minmax, NV_conservative_raster, NV_fill_rectangle, NV_fragment_shader_interlock, etc. NV_command_list, OpenGL ES Android Extension Pack, bindless UBO, etc. Even more improvements? Come to the Khronos BOF to find out! 47

48 OpenGL vs Vulkan Solving 3D in different ways OpenGL higher-level API, easier to teach and prototype in Many things handled automatically OpenGL can be used efficiently and obtain great single-threaded performance Use multi-draw, bindless, persistently mapped buffers, PBO, etc. Vulkan s ace is its ability to scale across multiple CPU threads Can be used with almost no lock contention on the performance critical path OpenGL does not have this (yet?) 48

49 Vulkan on NVIDIA GPUs Fully featured Vulkan is one API for all GPUs Vulkan API supports optional features and extensions Supports multiple vendors and hardware From ES 3.1 level hardware to GL 4.5 and beyond NVIDIA implementation fully featured From Tegra K1 through GeForce GTX TITAN X Write once run everywhere 49

51 Vulkan feature support FEATURE FERMI KEPLER MAXWELL OpenGL ES 3.1 level features Yes Yes Yes OpenGL 4.5 level features Yes Yes Yes Sparse memory Partial Partial Yes ETC2, ASTC texture compression No Tegra Tegra 51

52 Vulkan OS support Everywhere we can Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 Linux SteamOS Android SHIELD Tablet and SHIELD Android TV 52

53 NVIDIA implementation walkthrough Using GameWorks cadscene sample GL version is open source Vulkan version will be made available after spec release CPU bound under OpenGL with large models GPU bound on Vulkan! 53

54 The NVIDIA Vulkan driver Hosted by the OpenGL driver OpenGL and Vulkan share driver OpenGL portion dormant Vulkan Application Performance critical path direct to GPU Utility for resource and GPU management OpenGL Utility Vulkan GPU 54

55 Vulkan and OpenGL Living happily together OpenGL and Vulkan paths to hardware remain separate Mixed OpenGL Vulkan Application cadscene Can share resources Performance optimal OpenGL Utility Vulkan GPU 55

56 Benefits of mixed driver Efficiency for all Ease transition to Vulkan Allows applications to incrementally add Vulkan where it matters most If you can get OpenGL, you can get Vulkan Leveraged driver development 56

57 From OpenGL to Vulkan Porting your existing code Take incremental steps using AZDO (Aproaching zero-overhead driver) Persistent buffers, multi-draw indirect, bindless resources, etc. Start using NV_command_list See Best of GTC talk on NV_command_list Monday 2pm by Tristan Lorach Port performance-critical parts to Vulkan Can leave other stuff in OpenGL 57

58 Vulkan goals How do we meet these goals? Reduce CPU overhead Scale well with multiple threads Predictable no hitching Mobile GPU support 58

59 Demo: Vulkan cadscene CPU overhead, multi-cpu scaling, pipeline changes 59

60 cadscene on Shield Using the GameWorks cross-platform SDK Same framework used for NVIDIA GameWorks samples Supports cross-platform development Code for Windows, Linux and Android 60

61 GameWorks framework Build, deploy and debug Android code right from Visual Studio Coming for Vulkan 61
